House Speaker Mike Johnson's plan to fund the government is facing backlash from a growing number of Republican lawmakers as Congress has less than a week to avoid a government shutdown . Johnson is proposing a stopgap spending bill to extend government funding for some agencies and programs until January 19 and continue funding for others until February 2.
The continuing resolution would give Congress more time to negotiate longer-term funding as Congress faces a November 17 deadline to avert a government shutdown ahead of the winter holidays while also avoiding an 'omnibus' spending bill opposed by many Republicans. House Republicans struggled to reach a deal to pass the series of appropriations bills to fund the federal government through the fiscal year as they remain divided over key issues, including funding for Ukraine amid the Russian invasion, the national debt, and concerns over the Justice Department's investigations into former President Donald Trump. Johnson's plan would not provide additional funding for Israel, Ukraine, or the U.S.-Mexico border
